Advertisement Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Hi Guest zoz, Take a look here Lens Subforum?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted August 15, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 15, 2010 In the customer forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfx Posted August 15, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 15, 2010 Andy: It would be a great idea to have a separate forum for lenses IMHO. So many lens inquiries are scattered throughout the sub forums, and it would be much easier to find them under a single sub forum. Thanks, Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aesop Posted August 16, 2010 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2010 Lenses would be better than customer IMNSHO ...per Andy's comment - "The Leica Customer Forum is the place for discussions about the Leica in general, what is not covered by the more specialised sections". Sounds lucid enough to me, but maybe that's because I skipped Semantics 101. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted August 16, 2010 Share #6 Posted August 16, 2010 Lenses would be better than customer IMNSHO If I have learned one thing in my time here it is that it is far easier to focus a lens than a customer... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted August 16, 2010 Share #8 Posted August 16, 2010 The forum works pretty well as it is. Some people ask about lenses in the M8 or M9 forums, as they want to know about something in relation to those particular cameras, such as coding, cyan edges etc. If you had a lens forum people would still ask questions in other forums, i.e. what about the lens on an X1 - would that be better in a lens forum or the X1 forum? Then we have discussions on historical equipment........... And the S2........... If it ain't broke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

euston Posted August 22, 2010 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2010 ...per Andy's comment - "The Leica Customer Forum is the place for discussions about the Leica in general, what is not covered by the more specialised sections". Sounds lucid enough to me, but maybe that's because I skipped Semantics 101. I would like to see a lens forum and I didn’t skip semantics or logic. The point of rcerick’s suggestion is that a lens forum should become one of the “more specialised sections”, leaving the customer forum to be what it says it is, “the place for discussions about Leica in general”. Considering how important optics are to the Leica experience, it seems odd that the site has so many separate forums about cameras and not a single forum dedicated to lenses. I would find it a useful resource as, I believe, might newcomers to the Leica community. I would prefer a lens forum to confine itself to removable lenses. To answer earleygallery’s question, I would expect fixed lenses to be discussed in the appropriate camera forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZDavid Posted August 22, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 22, 2010 In general I would agree you don't need too many sub-fora, but in this instance I think it's a good idea. Optics are one of the major reasons people buy Leica and a major focus for the company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted August 23, 2010 Share #20 Posted August 23, 2010 Some time ago I started a thread in the german forum demanding a special subforum for lenses. In the meantime I am cured. A "lens forum" would not prevent users posting their questions or experiences in any other digital or analogue or customer's fora. It would just add one (i.e. two for the german and international users) opportunities to look for a certain information about a certain lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
